Use of Information Obtained by InspirePolitics.com

When you register with InspirePolitics.com, you create your own profile and privacy settings. Your profile information, as well as your name, email and photo, are displayed to people in the networks specified in your privacy settings to enable you to connect with people on InspirePolitics.com. We may occasionally use your name and email address to send you notifications regarding new services offered by InspirePolitics.com that we think you may find valuable.

Profile information you submit to InspirePolitics.com will be available to users of InspirePolitics.com who belong to at least one of the networks you allow to access the information through your privacy settings.

InspirePolitics.com may send you service-related announcements from time to time through the general operation of the service.

Generally, you may opt out of such emails from the _________________ page, though InspirePolitics.com reserves the right to send you notices about your account even if you opt out of all voluntary email notifications.

InspirePolitics.com may use information in your profile without identifying you as an individual to third parties. We do this for purposes such as collecting user data and determining our user base for grant writing and other related purposes.

Sharing Your Information with Third Parties

InspirePolitics.com is about sharing information with others — friends and people in your networks — while providing you with privacy settings that restrict other users from accessing your information. We allow you to choose the information you provide to friends and networks through InspirePolitics.com. Our network architecture and your privacy settings allow you to make informed choices about who has access to your information. We do not provide contact information to third party marketers without your permission. We share your information with third parties only in limited circumstances where we believe such sharing is 1) reasonably necessary to offer the service, 2) legally required or, 3) permitted by you. For example:

Your News Feed and Mini-Feed may aggregate the information you provide and make it available to your friends and network members according to your privacy settings.

Unlike most sites on the Web, InspirePolitics.com limits access to site information by third party search engine "crawlers" (e.g. Google, Yahoo, MSN, Ask). InspirePolitics.com takes action to block access by these engines to personal information beyond your name, profile picture, and limited aggregated data about your profile (e.g. number of wall postings).

We may provide information to service providers to help us bring you the services we offer. Specifically, we may use third parties to facilitate our business, such as to host the service at a co-location facility for servers, to send out email updates about InspirePolitics.com, to remove repetitive information from our user lists, to process payments for products or services, to offer an online job application process, or to provide search results or links (including sponsored links). In connection with these offerings and business operations, our service providers may have access to your personal information for use for a limited time in connection with these business activities. Where we utilize third parties for the processing of any personal information, we implement reasonable contractual and technical protections limiting the use of that information to the InspirePolitics.com-specified purposes.

We may be required to disclose user information pursuant to lawful requests, such as subpoenas or court orders, or in compliance with applicable laws. We do not reveal information until we have a good faith belief that an information request by law enforcement or private litigants meets applicable legal standards. Additionally, we may share account or other information when we believe it is necessary to comply with law, to protect our interests or property, to prevent fraud or other illegal activity perpetrated through the InspirePolitics.com service or using the InspirePolitics.com name, or to prevent imminent bodily harm. This may include sharing information with other companies, lawyers, agents or government agencies.

We let you choose to share information with marketers or electronic commerce providers through sponsored groups or other on-site offers.

We may offer stores or provide services jointly with other companies on InspirePolitics.com. You can tell when another company is involved in any store or service provided on InspirePolitics.com, and we may share customer information with that company in connection with your use of that store or service.

If the ownership of all or substantially all of the InspirePolitics.com business, or individual business units owned by InspirePolitics.com, Inc., were to change, your user information may be transferred to the new owner so the service can continue operations. In any such transfer of information, your user information would remain subject to the promises made in any pre-existing Privacy Policy.

When you use InspirePolitics.com, certain information you post or share with third parties (e.g., a friend or someone in your network), such as personal information, comments, messages, photos, videos or other information, may be shared with other users in accordance with the privacy settings you select. All such sharing of information is done at your own risk. Please keep in mind that if you disclose personal information in your profile or when posting comments, messages, photos, videos or other items, this information may become publicly available.

Third Party Advertising

Advertisements that appear on InspirePolitics.com are sometimes delivered (or "served") directly to users by third party advertisers. They automatically receive your IP address when this happens. These third party advertisers may also download cookies to your computer, or use other technologies such as JavaScript and "web beacons" (also known as "1x1 gifs") to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to personalize advertising content. Doing this allows the advertising network to recognize your computer each time they send you an advertisement in order to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to personalize advertising content. In this way, they may compile information about where individuals using your computer or browser saw their advertisements and determine which advertisements are clicked. InspirePolitics.com does not have access to or control of the cookies that may be placed by the third party advertisers. Third party advertisers have no access to your contact information stored on InspirePolitics.com unless you choose to share it with them.

This privacy policy covers the use of cookies by InspirePolitics.com and does not cover the use of cookies or other tracking technologies by any of its advertisers.
